Does anyone have any good ideas on how to make a lot of guitars look cool? I mean, I've been to guys houses and studios where they'll have one to three guitars up on a wall, maybe in an art niche (indent in the wall) with spot lights and such, and it looks like a million bucks, but once you get more then that... it starts to look, well not special. Like a cool picture of one car verses a parking lot.
I went to a local shop... this is what I don't want;
This back wall looks a little better to me... but might look goofy if they're all different types and sizes of guitars.
Or just a whole whack of String Swings (Internet photo)... but many of my guitars are Vs and Explorers, and I don't have that ceiling height so I could only do two rows tall...
And what about lighting? Florescent lights are a goofy color and have harmful UV rays that can bleach a guitar over time... incandescents may not be available in a few years, and halogen (will they still be available?) get hot, but look great, but I'm told you may need (wasn't sure) a special glass guard for UV too.
So what are you guys doing? Or any cool guitar shop photos?
